A Tribute to Antoine Dodson
Antoine Dodson
You may know him as the “Bed Intruder Guy,” the star of arguably the viral video hit of 2010, or you may know him as Antoine Dodson, a true rags to riches story.
It started with a local news story where the animated Antoine Dodson gave an interview about how he was going to “find” an attempted rapist who tried to crawl into his sisters bed. In fact, “they rapin everybody round here” according to Dodson.
The video itself is hilarious, and then the brilliant guys who created AutoTune the News turned his interview into a song, a truly catchy and well done song, that got more video views than the original (33 Million at writing vs. 15 million for the original).
Now we see Antoine on the BET awards, performing the Bed Intruder Song live with arguably the whitest person to ever be on stage at the BET awards.
In addition, stories have emerged that the royalties he has gained from the song were enough for him to move his family out of the projects and into their own house! A true rags to riches story!
